About Polmaddy
This is a big conifer woodland that has many heritage features scattered thoughout, including Polmaddy settlement, a classic example of a Galloway Village before the improvements and clearances of the 1700's and 1800's.
The Polmaddy burn winds its way lazily through the woodland which opens up to afford wonderful views of the surrounding countryside.
Access is off the A713 between New Galloway and Dalmellington.
